(a) Considerations.
(2) Use of best value buying procedures is encouraged in competitive purchases where they would help improve the quality of the award decisions.
(b) Soliciting from a single source.
(1) Whenever urgency of the requirement necessitates limiting competition, and
precludes the use of normal automated contracting procedures, the historically lowest price source should be contacted. However, award may be placed with another source when any increased price is reasonable and consistent with the extent to which delivery is required to be expedited.
